What it is and who needs it.
What the tree preservation bond covers
A tree preservation bond is a completion guarantee to the municipality. The Township of Wayne can condition approval of tree removal or land disturbance on this bond so that the required replacement trees are planted and the site is restored after the work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Wayne (the obligee). The Township sets the amount based on the value of the required replacement plantings and restoration on your approved plan, so it is not a single fixed figure.
If the required trees are not planted or the site is not restored, the Township can recover against the bond to complete the work — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is the Township’s assurance that your tree canopy commitments are actually met.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Township. Submit the executed bond with your Wayne Township tree-removal or land-disturbance approval. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Township insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
